Down By The Riverside Lyrics

I took my baby out and bought her a ring Man, we planned a wedding come spring Staring right into the eyes of my dreams Hand in hand, down on one knee
Down by the riverside Down by the riverside Told me she would be my bride Down by the riverside
She said, "Yes" as I held her tight We made love in the broad daylight Now I know why the old folks say 'Get too close and you'll get swept away'
Down by the riverside Down by the riverside Don't take much with the water's too high Down by the riverside
Spring came and turned by baby's head around Rains fell and now I feel like I might drown Under the weight of this fools crown
There's a tree down by the riverside Once it held it's head up high We carved our vows deep in it's side Now faithless love makes that willow cry
Down by the riverside Down by the riverside Her love turned out to be a lie Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside Her love turned out to be a lie
Down by the riverside
